Whichever way we turn our eyes,
We see Improvements have been made;
Each seeking by some new device
To cast all others in the shade.
In commerce and mechanics too,
Great changes a few years do show;
Things which our fathers never knew,
Or dreamed Of fifty years ago.

And give you ''straight g0ods,' every time
So that's the firm to patronize
And any man on bargains bent,

He saves at least fifteen per cent.

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

An election conducted with ex-
traordinary vigor was held last week
in Atlanta, Georgia. city of about
$4,000 inhabitants. The issue was
prohibition, and both sides worked
hard for the victory. The result was
the defeat Of prohibition by con-
siderable majority. This election is
noticed simply for the purpose of
counteracting the statements of those
in sympathy with the liquor traffic.
that it was temperance defeat. As
a purely temperance question it de-
termines neither for or against. 1t
only declares that enough temperance
voters who did not believe prohibition
the best method for suppressing the
liquor traffic voted to swell the ma
Jority against prohibition. Prohibit
ton, and nothing less, can overthrow
the evil of intemperance, but it may
be long time yet before the people
will be educated to enforce the entire
abolition of the sale. The often-re-
peated statement that prohibition
does not prohibit" is worn out. There
Is not law on the statute book, pro-
hibiting wrong of any kind, that effec
tually prohibits the wrong. The reas
on why prohibition fails in many
instances to accomplish what is ex-
pected of it is not because the law is
wrong in principle, but for the reason
the people are not educated up to the
standard of its enforcement. Until
public sentiment is strong enough with
determined purpose to put an end to
the liquor trade it is probable many
temperance friends will continu to
try other methods for restricting the
sale.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE.

The concert at the Union church last
Friday evening was a splendid success,
Notwithstanding the inhospitable wealth
er which prevented great many from
attending. The attendance, however,
exceeded the most sanguine anticipa-
tons. The program was not fully carried
out, owing to the absence of some re-
sponsible parties, but all were enthusias-
tic In expressing their satisfaction with
the entertainment, and hope that it will
be repeated at an early date, having no
omitted parts, and being favored with
more suspicious weather.
Monday night was intensely cold.
The general freezing up which followed
the ominous fog of Friday and Satur-
day has left the roads in state that can
neither be imagined nor described.
They are certainly trying on horse shoes,
on wagon tires, on sensitive nerves, and
on impatient dispositions.
We hear rumors of singing school
soon to be started in the church. Tues
day nights, if you happen to walk past
that ancient edifice and see the light
streaming through the cracks in the
shutters, you may surmise that the
gentle warblings of future star singers
are being developed within. Success to
the enterprise.

EUROPEAN SOVEREIGNS.

The world has better reason to be
satisfied with the present reigning
sovereigns of Europe than at any
former period of history the past fifty
years. Emperor William, of Germany
in his address at the opening of the
German Parliament last week, gives a
noble expression of sentiment in favor
of good will and his desire for peace
among the European governn ents.
The Emperor says Germany has no ag-
gressive tendencies, no wants to be
secured by the victorious way; no UNI
christian disposition to interfere with
the affairs of other nations. The EN-

INTERNATIONAL PEACE
ARBITRATION,

A delegation of members of the
British Parliament were present at a
large meeting of the friends to peace
in New York in favor of permanently
preserving that blessing through the
agency of international arbitration
The meeting was of much respecta-
bility. The settlement of national
differences by arbitration has been agi-
tated for many years, and has received
the sanction of the wisest men in this
country. Mr.. Blaine once proposed a
peace Congress Of all the states of
North and South America to settle
upon plan for adjusting difficulties
by referring them to arbitration. This
is a civilized and christian method of
adjusting disputes. A resort to war
where arbitration is practicable is only
barbarous in this latter part of the
nineteenth century. Resolutions were
adopted in favor of bringing the mat.
ter before Congress for such legislation
as may be needful for authorizing such
mode of settling national disputes.

THANKSGIVING IN THE HIGH
SCHOOL.

Thanksgiving was appropriately OBJ
served in the High School Wednesday
afternoon of last week. The attend.
ance of visitors was large, filling all
the available space in the large room.
The character of the exercises deserves
more than passing notice: they were
pronounced of high order by those
competent to express intelligent
opinions. The subjects selected by
those WHO had parts assigned on the
program related largely to the appro.
priateness of the observance of the
day, and the moral tone was excellent.
1t was, perhaps, a less exhibition of
oratorical effort, on the part of the
participants in the exercises; but for
dignified and manly sentiments it was
not surpassed, if equaled, in any former
public exercise in the school. The
charge is now frequently made, that
the public schools give too little at
tention to the moral culture of the
young, whose right educational train
ing is committed to them. To what
extent this charge may be true will
not now be discussed. but it cannot
apply to the Kencsha High school. At
the close of the exercises Reverends
Bray, Taylor, Thompson and others
expressed their high satisfaction of the
pleasing literary entertainment.

SPORTS AND ADJUSTMENTS.

Last year base ball had great run,
and hundreds of supple men and boys
enlisted in these games in all parts of
the country. 1t was expected that
this amusement rose to the height of
its popularity last year, as most things
of this kind have their day, and are
then abandoned for something new.
But the present prospect is the base
ball fever will run higher next season
than it did the last. The Milwaukee
papers say preparations are already
begun for vigorous campaign the
coming year. Other cities are giving
indications of renewing these games
when the favorable time comes. The
Kenosha boys will no doubt follow
suit, and some of our good citizens
express the hope that Sunday will not
be monopolized for games of this sort,
as it sometimes has been heretofore.
The Milwaukee Euening Wisconsin
announces that progressive euchre
is experiencing the distress that usually
follows surfeit." This will be no
loss; there are enough amusements
more desirable and instructive, and
players can afford to give cards rest.

peror seeks for peace with all Europe.
The same pacific spirit appears to per-
wade al this time in many Of the king
doms of Europe. England is much
looked to for the preservation of the
peace of Europe. Fortunately. Eng
lands policy is for peace. 1t manifests
no hostile demonstrations in any d.
rection. England's Queen, the noblest
woman that ever occupied the British
throne, now and always has given her
voice for peace. In this country a few
interested politicians, anxious for the
plumber Of war. have from time to
time tried to convince the government
that the United States have just cause
for war over minor troubles. But
good sense has overruled the war
spirit, and the united sentiment of the
intelligent people is for the continu-
ance of peace; and so it will be through
generations to come, IL wise counsel
prevails.

Some of our exchanges are apparent.
ly much exercised over the question as
to what will be the action of the State
Supreme Court in respect to sustain
ing the decision of Judge Winslow, of
this district, on the woman suffrage
law. If it were allowable, they would
be pleased to advise the Supreme Court
what to do, and be glad to furnish the
court with reasons why the decision
of Judge Winslow should be reversed.
But as it is, they can only continue to
express the opinion Judge Winslow's
decision will not be sustained. 1t is
true the law relating to woman suf-
frage is not as clearly expressed as it
might have been, but the Supreme
Court will give it a proper construc-
ton, whether for or against Judge
Winslow's decision, and that, too, with
out outside help.

Thanksgiving appears to have been
very generally observed in all parts of
the country. The increasing respect
for this national holiday is an encour-
aging sign of the times. The man who
prefers to go to turkey shoot or in
dulge in fishing and hunting on that
day, rather than attend place APP
pointed for worship, or to enjoy fam
lily gathering of friends, is devoid of
the better impulse of mans nature.
The Chicago papers speak of the un-
usual degree of quiet and good order
in that ordinarily noisy and bustling
city. The same proprieties appear to
have been observed ON Thanksgiving
day in other cities.
